Dry Stone Walls and Vineyards on Kapellenberg

Here you walk through a wonderful wine-growing area that is interspersed with old dry stone walls. This is the name given to walls that were built without mortar. In wine-growing areas, such walls have proven to be particularly useful because they increase the usable area on steep slopes by building terraces. They also equalize the air temperature, store heat and radiate it into the night - this reduces the night-time cooling of the vineyards.

By the way, a well-built dry stone wall can be 100 years and older! So take a closer look, maybe there is a very old copy here too! 😉

Dry stone walls on the chapel mountain are really very beautiful

The 🍷 vineyards with the old walls are wonderful to look at
